In reply to Rick Champ. Yes, if you're hungry BEFORE drinking your bac will be higher

In reply to Rick Champ. No. The only thing that eliminates alcohol from the body is TIME.

If this calculator is correct, then my Interlock device needs an intervention.
According to my calculations (and I actually converted milliliter a to ounces to try to be exact) when I woke up the morning after my birthday, to go to work, I should have blown a 0.23. My Interlock device will fail me for anything over a 0.02, and I passed. It gets calibrated every month, and is sensitive enough to detect alcohol (“Alcohol Detected” alert, but not a fail) if I spray my Bath & Body Works body spray too close to the interval test.
And this isn’t the first time I’ve consumed this amount in this period and passed.
I should also mention, my Interlock is voluntary—for this reason. No calculator can determine a definite result. Not only do results vary from individual to individual, they can also vary from day to day, depending upon NUMEROUS factors.
I’m not knocking this site, by any means. I’m simply saying it’s different for everyone, just doesn’t drive after drinking. It sounds simple—and it is. But after an evening of drinking, you may not “feel” drunk, but you will blow that way. If you think an Uber is expensive, wait until your second DUI. Not to mention, the nightmares that come after you realize, at first, selfishly, that you could have killed yourself. And worse, when your selfishness subsides and you realize you could have killed children, families; that it would kill your mother if your only victim was you.
Then, maybe you’ll get it.

This calculator indicates no difference between light beer and regular beer. It does not list “alcohol by volume”.

Per this calculator, two 12 ounce beers in 1 hour consumed by a 167 lb man yields a BAC of 0.03. My own calculations, using 5% abv, show 0.04, so this calculator seems a little low to me.

Budwiser is 5% abv. Coors Light and Miller Light are both 4.2%. Many craft beers are in the 6-7% range.

Coors

Does food intake change these results?

Alcohol is metabolized (broken down) by the body at a rate of 0.016% per hour. You’re having 5 drinks over the course of 4 hours. Without knowing your weight, I can’t give you an exact figure. If you are at or over 200 lbs you should be below .08 pretty much the whole time. By 10 or 11 your BAC would be very very low.

I’d like to be able to calculate my expected BAC after this scenario: a lite beer at 5:00 while grilling, 2 glasses of wine with dinner until 7:30, another glass of wine while watching tv, finishing with a shot of scotch at 9. Perhaps averaging the ABV would work?
